Sustainable Design
In our design we account for sustainability. For instance, we incorporate planting and trees in gardens to:
- Limit flooding
- Give animals, like butterflies, bees and birds, space
- Cool the surroundings and absorb CO2 by using trees.
- Re-use of present materials in the new garden.
Sustainable Plan
Sustainablity is also explaned in a different way: to maintain your garden in perfect condition with as little maintenance as possible. We pick the planting and trees based on this assumption, so you will always have the flourishing garden as we constructed.

Help us become more sustainable!
Rubens Tuinen attaches great importance to sustainability. A sustainable way of handling the garden and the existing nature & materials, well thought-out management and a ‘green’ vision. We are constantly gathering new knowledge in this discipline. This ensures a truly sustainable gardener and a future-proof garden and environment.
We want to become even more sustainable. Quieter and emission-free- machines and -commercial vehicles are examples, but also informing customers to create awareness is something we believe in. We are constantly improving sustainability behind the scenes! However, this comes at a great monetary cost. You can also help us to become more sustainable, we would much appreciate it!
